It’s Monday November 9th, 

And born on this date in 1918, the 39th Vice President of the United States Spiro T. Agnew under Nixon.  He resigned as VP after pleading no contest to income tax evasion charges.

And it was on this date in 1989 that the 28-year-old Berlin Wall is opened to the West.  It was one of the most iconic symbols of the cold war. 

Dickens on Main is only a few weeks away, and my Boerne news.com has all the details. The two-day celebration takes place Friday, Nov. 27 and Saturday, Nov. 28, bringing a touch of Victorian England to downtown Boerne.  Although there are over 50,000 people expected, they expect a fully functional Christmas market and activities for the kids.

Home Instead is once again asking the Boerne community to help brighten Christmas for local seniors through its Be a Santa to a Senior program. Beginning November 18th, Christmas trees at several locations around Boerne will feature ornaments with gift requests from local older adults. Just choose an ornament, purchase the requested gift, and return it unwrapped in a gift bag by December 9th.  This year’s goal is to provide Christmas gifts for about 100 seniors in the Boerne community.

In a game heard right here on Boerne Radio - what a nail biter - your Boerne Greyhounds finish the season undefeated = Legacy Ranch was running downhill in their last possession down by 5 with the ball, marched down to inside the 10, and the Greyhound prevail with an interception in the endzone - final score 32-27.

And the Chargers finished strong - Caleb Farias ran for 227 yards on a 5-touchdown night.  He finished the regular season first in district in rushing yards, and first in Touchdowns with 28. Axton White had 2 touchdowns, and Julian Navarrette was 19 of 26 for 261 yards and 3 touchdowns.

The playoffs begin this Thursday and Friday - we’ll announce our coverage as soon as possible.

Thank you to the GVTC Foundation for donating $5,000 to Hill Country Family Services. The organization has been serving our community since 1985, providing security and food to those  in need.

It’s another rainy day in Boerne; we’ll add to the 1.87 inches we’ve received so far this week.  So far this year 40.13 inches of free water has fallen from the sky, 30 inches is normal by this time.  The National Weather Service says showers are likely throughout the day, with about an 80-percent chance of rain and a high only around 62 degrees. Tonight stays mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and some patchy fog developing after midnight.  Tomorrow is better, with a high near 68 and only a slight chance of morning rain.
